No 'hit list' found following Algonac school scare

On Tuesday morning, the Algonac Community Schools administration received word that a student had a hit list, Superintendent Alan Latosz wrote in a post on the district's Facebook page.

The school administration worked with Clay Township Police to investigate the information and no hit list was found — though the investigation did lead to disciplinary action, Latosz wrote.

The incident followed a rash of scares in the Blue Water Area in the wake of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and comes at a time when local school administrators have been evaluating their security practices.

Croswell-Lexington Community Schools dealt with a verbal threat earlier this week. Last week, during a Feb. 20 discussion about the events in Florida, a Croswell-Lexington student admitted to having a hunting rifle in their truck. A search of the truck uncovered a rifle, knives and a set of brass knuckles, but the items were never outside the vehicle.

On Feb. 19, East China School District looked into a tweet threatening Marine City Middle School and Principal Chris Ming. The Marine City Police Department assured the community in a written statement that it would be safe for students to attend school and that an investigation was underway.
